I have no perseverance. What am I going to do when I'm suffering in a foreign country and I'm about to die? Can I trust myself to stay faithful? No, but where I fall short, God is more than enough.
"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." -Luke 12:11-12
